Description : Composizione con armatura, clessidra e libri
Oil on the table. Signed lower right. Born in Milan in 1913 and trained at the Brera Academy (of which he will later become a teacher), Adriano Gajoni became passionate about the study of seventeenth-century Lombard painters and Dutch and Flemish painting of the seventeenth century, from whose meticulous realism he let himself be inspired. Of strict figurative observance, Gajoni preferred landscapes, portraits and above all still lifes, which he expressed in fairy-tale and allegorical compositions. He mainly practiced oil painting on wood and hardboard. This composition proposes an armor, placed on a table together with some illuminated texts and an hourglass. The taste for ancient flavor compositions is rediscovered. In frame.
